About the Game

Only One of You Can Be Captain

I Am the Captain Now is a 3-4 player social coop game where you must work together as a pirate crew to conquer the sea. Vote for your captain in the devious council, but choose wisely cause the captain will call the shots. Which mission to take on, which path to go and who to leave behind. Being a leader is no easy task, so shape up or have your crew throw you overboard.

Being Captain Has Its Perks

  • The world centers around you, so where you go the crew must follow
  • Double the loot
  • You get a real cool title

Don't Worry Crew, Mutiny Is Never Far Away

  • Pact and vote off the captain
  • Complete side activities to gain extra votes
  • Or a light push into the water might be all you need

Every Pirate Crew Needs A Ship

You are pirates so you will of course need a ship. The ship requires tight team-work to control: someone to steer, shoot, scout ahead, place planks and recover those fallen overboard
